  2. Cheek - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheek

    The cheek is the most common location from which a DNA sample can be taken. (Some saliva is collected from inside the mouth, e.g. using a cotton-tipped rod called a swab or " Q-Tip ". The procedure of collecting a sample in that way is typically called a "cheek swab".)

  3. Epithelium - Wikipedia

    The cells here may possess microvilli for maximizing the surface area for absorption, and these microvilli may form a brush border. Other cells may be ciliated to move mucus in the function of mucociliary clearance. Other ciliated cells are found in the fallopian tubes, the uterus and central canal of the spinal cord.

    Giant cell epulis, also known as peripheral giant cell granuloma, are like fibrous epulis and occur at the anterior interdental margin, the gum between the teeth at the front. They are more common in women. They are often soft round and deep red to purplish blue. It is important they are investigated to make are they are not true giant cell ...

    The researchers suggest that their epigenetic clock, which was trained using cheek cell data, can predict mortality even when the methylome is measured in blood cells, indicating that common ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_bud

    Some, however, are found in the interior of the bud between the gustatory cells. The gustatory (taste) cells, which are chemoreceptors, occupy the central portion of the bud; they are spindle-shaped, and each possesses a large spherical nucleus near the middle of the cell. The peripheral end of the cell terminates at the gustatory pore in a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_swab

    A buccal swab, also known as buccal smear, is a way to collect DNA from the cells on the inside of a person's cheek.Buccal swabs are a relatively non-invasive way to collect DNA samples for testing.

  9. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The terminal cell elongates more than the deeper cells; then the production of a lateral bisector takes place in the inner fluid, which tends to divide the cell into two parts, of which the deeper one remains stationary, while the terminal part elongates again, forms a new inner partition, and so on.
